Ranch Salad Dressing from Japan

A creamy emulsion-based salad dressing made with buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, onion, herbs, and spices like dill and parsley. It falls under HTS 2103.90.90.40 as an 'other salad dressing' because it is a prepared emulsified sauce specifically intended for dressing salads, not classified as mayonnaise or mustard. This code covers common pourable or spoonable dressings used to enhance salads.
